Around the Corner

At anytime there can be a Dergue official that escaped unharmed here in the U.S. At anytime I can round the corner and my brother's executioner could be there. At anytime, I can turn the corner and the Dergue officer who tortured my sister could be sitting at the same Ethiopian restuarant that I am. Around the corner, not very far from my memory is an unsettled past with ghosts and real people I would rather not see. I hope I never see them. Two Ethiopian women who resettled in Atlanta, Georgia after surviving the Dergue were enjoying their new found safety and freedom...only to randomly encounter, their torturer. That was years ago. I wonder where the women are. I know the torturer is just around the corner.
